Energy harvesting technology plays a crucial role in modern biomedical electronics, especially implantable applications. The conversion efficiency of electrical energy is essential for prolonging the battery life of implants. This study compares various techniques, with a focus on semiconductor-based circuits that can be integrated with tiny chips.
Energy harvesting can be achieved through many different mechanisms. Such technology has been drawing researchers' attention to its practical applications for a decade, as it can be widely applied to countless scenarios. It steals the show in the modern development of the biomedical electronics, especially implantable applications, as it allows the patients to move freely without restriction. To prolong lifetime of the battery inside/outside a patient's body, the electrical conversion efficiency of the electronic implant is of primary importance in energy harvesting. The conversion can be achieved by a so-called miniaturized rectification circuit (also known as rectifier). This study aims to compare different state-of-the-art techniques focusing on the conversion efficiency of the rectification. Particular emphasis is put on semiconductor-based circuits capable of being integrated with tiny chips on the implants.
